ABSTRACT
The local well-posedness for the Cauchy problem of a weakly dissipative shallow water equation is established using the Littlewood–Paley theory and a priori estimates of solutions to the transport equation. The norm estimates, the blow-up mechanisms, and the global existence of solutions to the problem are investigated. The novelty is that the effects of the weakly dissipative coefficients and nonlinear index to guarantee the global existence of solutions are presented.
